Hello, I am currently working on my Common App essay, and I would like to know what people think of this idea. I am planning to write about what I learned about life and myself as I moved around different cities and states throughout my elementary, middle, and high school life. Would this be too boring or too common? Or just uninteresting in general?
the topic is not unique, and not often-seen though. you can absolutely write about that. But remember to write in a creative way, showing what you have learnt or thought from that exprience
That topic is not unique but don’t be discouraged! Not everyone has survived an earthquake or has climbed Mount Everest. Your topic is fine as long as you give it a “spin”. Don’t let it be the essay college admissions counselors expect to see such as the classic resiliency essay, make it special, something only you could write. Hope this was helpful
